There's a heap of fake sard regs around so be careful. I'm using an SX reg and it's been fine.

Rising rate regs usually increase the fuel pressure double the boost so you could be up there, do you have a gauge in the dash?

I don't have a gauge in the cabin, just one on top of the reg, so it's hard to tell what happens under boost conditions.I may buy a sensor to add to my AFR display.

However, I thought that most rising rate regs increased pressure at 1:1 ratio to counteract the boost. That would be the easiest to manufacture as well, with the hose simply adding boost pressure to the diaphram. All the rising rate regs that have a higher ratio than 1:1 seem to be much more expensive & would probably advertise the fact that they have this feature.

Ok, guys from Moscow approached me today. They have a "demo" version ready, now they need a brave person in Perth who's got a car DVD based Xanai unit (M35 Stagea or Skyline up to 2005). This gotta

Has anyone seen a gauge pod for an M35 at all? I'd really like a double din unit for my stereo/gps but don't want to lose the factory gauges.

How handy are you at making stuff? There's plenty of good ideas out there, but I've not seen anything decent that you can buy straight up, besides the standard A-pillar mounted gauge pods that look a little out of place in a M35, IMO.

Do you just want to relocate the single DIN factory gauges? If you don't have the Nav DVD ROM in the flip up section they will fit there nicely.

Yeah that is exactly what I'm thinking of. Relocate them to where the factory screen is usually located in some sort of pod, then have a double din unit down under the climate control.

Half tempted to try and make something up but if there is interest for others to do this maybe I'm better off trying to organise a group buy of sorts..

Is the factory boost gauge accurate?

Only real reason I want that is to make sure that it's not boosting off it's face - I find the battery charge gauge handy.. front wheel torque isn't necessary although it is a bit of a game. :)

I don't really need anything, but I just don't want to get rid of the standard gauges unless I'm replacing it with something and if it gets replaced I want it to look as standard as possible.

I think it's fairly accurate, but it's only 1bar (14.5 PSI)... :whistling:

Depends on what you're planning on doing to the car, whether you'd need stuff like oil temp, oil pressure, fuel pressure, etc.

Does anyone know if all AR-X's come with the fixtures to buy and install the grate separating the backseats from the boot ie to stop my bloody dog from jumping over. From the pictures that have been sent to me it doesn't look like my AR-X has it standard.

If yes, does anyone want to sell me one.

For those of you who have imported through a broker, how close has been your quoted L&C price compared to the actual final price. My broker has been really excellent but it looks like he's $1500 off what he quoted me or rather what I quoted him as my budget. It's a bit concerning but to his credit he's looking into it for me rather than brushing me off.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
